As you can see, I finally got my Orangutan up… and started on my Polar Bear. For those who are interested in knowing what paper I am using. It’s a Visy waterproof recycled paper. I love this paper it has such a nice feel, and it is easy to fold and at the same time retain its soft smooth look… it is perfect for my animals.

My Orangutan
The Polar Bear’s Head
Last week, we had a bit of a challenge as the single ply paper was not rigid enough to hold the mass of the Orangutan’s head. And so, we had to wait for John at NPI to try glueing two sheets back to back to see if the paper would retain all the things I love about it.
Operations Manager, John, and crew took two rolls, and glued a massive amount of two ply paper for me to try out… and lo and behold the Visy paper is retaining all that is great about the paper and it’s rigid!!
Well… maybe I spoke too soon… yes, I built my Orangutan.. but two days later I noticed it imploding around the chest where the weight of the arms had pressure.
I now know I definitely need a three ply paper. I showed John the problem with my Orangutan and we looked at two different lots of paper to slip between the 2 sheets of the Visy recycled waterproof paper we have been using saznajte više.: a 190gsm and a 300gsm. I did a little test and it appears the 300gsm is going to work.
John will glue three sheets together for us this coming week before they break for Christmas. And I will have my paper issues sorted for all the animals… fingers crossed.
Good night and good luck from the Polar Bear
